Grilled Lemon Garlic Chicken (Greek Chicken)

I found the recipe for the chicken marinade in an Instyle magazine eons ago. They were doing an article on John Stamos...yes from Full House sitcom fame...he gave his dad's recipe for Greek Chicken...delish! ..Plan ahead - the chicken needs to marinate overnight. He also uses this marinade for Grilled Shrimp, and Sea Scallops.

1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup of white wine (plus a nip for the cook!)

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tsp salt

freshly cracked pepper and fresh flat leaf parsley isn't in the original recipe, but I added it. 

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. **** I ditched the bowl, and just put the marinade ingredients straight into the zip lock bag, zipped it, and then shook it to combine. 

Marinate chicken overnight in the refrigerator - turning occasionally. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade; season with salt and pepper. Cook over high heat on charcoal or gas grill (turning once) about 10 minutes. ( I used my cast iron grill pan on the stove)  Let sit 5 minutes before slicing. Serves 8 if using 3 pds of chicken.

OR....for marinated grilled seafood:

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 1/4 pound sea scallops
wooden skewers

In a ziplock bag marinate seafood in refrigerator for 2 hours, turning occasionally. Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes. Remove seafood from marinade; discard marinade. Place on skewers; season with salt and pepper. Grill over high heat on charcoal or gas grill, 6-8 minutes, or until opaque. Serves 8.
